    Runner Pendants

    in Masting, rigging and sails

    Posted

    On a real ship they might use the mast tackle for that, but for our purposes, just tugging a little on the end of the lanyard to bring it taught is how I think it's done. Unless, of course, you want to depict something like that in your build, to show how it's really done. :)

     

    Cheers

    How the end of the lanyard was secured to the pendant is of no interest to the modeler. Methods are shon in Fig 23, p. 178 of an article on Deadeyes in NRJ Autumn issue 2014.

     

    Two methods showing how the end of the lanyard was secured once it had been hauled taut, are illustrated in the attached files. Either turns taken around the standng part of the shoud above the uper deadeye,  or a single turn  taken and then the end of lanyard seized to one art of lany.ard on the inboard side.

    Do a google search on Dog-Bitch Thimble and you should find an excerpt from The Anatomy of Nelsons Ships that describes it as well as has a drawing.

    Interlocking the thimbles rotates things through a right angle, so allowing the brace block to sit with the sheave up and down rather than lying flat.Presumably this means the brace fall is less likely to tist upon itself. Maybe of interest to the practical seaman, but of little interest to the modelmaker.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
